Learjet Gear Jammed down

Featured Replies

After about a year flying only the Aerosoft Airbus A321.I went back to the Learjet.(FSX-SE)

Now I find the Gear is stuck in the down position, regardless if I use the 'G' Key or as I normally do the F8 Key on my Black Widow Flight Stick.

The Three Lights stay Green but the Panel Gear lever does move up and down. When landing I get the message "Gear UP" but it is Down.

Any Ideas please?

I had tried the Boeing 747 before the Learjet and that was OK.

Have you waited too long after takeoff to raise the gear?  I don't know if the default Lear45 recognizes a speed damaged gear mechanism?  Have you tried raising the gear handle before takeoff to see if the gear comes up after the wheels leave the ground?

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱

Thanks charliearon

Yes doing that the gear came up with a buzzer sounding. I did not know one could do that, and I have certainly never done it before.

Is there a fix?

After take off and the gear was up, I stopped the flight and restarted. This time the gear worked Ok. I am sure on previous flights I was not

going to fast before lifting the gear the gear.

Will have to see how it goes.

Thank you.

Are you using a saved flight for testing?  I would recommend creating a brand new flight to check things out.

No I was not using a saved flight, but was using the same airport (LFTW) for testing. With Navigraph simlink. Will test again tomorrow from another Airport.
